Can anyone help? > Dear Alene & BRADSHAW listers: I also have a William Henry BRADSHAW in Arkansas. I am writing to perhaps avoid a lot of later confusion by causing a little now. My William Henry was born 1818 in Tennessee and died in 1891 (in Arkansas, I believe). He was the son of David and Theresa (CARSON) BRADSHAW. David lived in Wilson County and later Davidson and Weakley Counties. William H. married Mary WRIGHT in 1839 and they had children Mary, Martha Alice, Helen, and Bruce. His second wife was Elizabeth ADAMS (m1: ? PRESCOTT) of Mississippi. Their children were Lucy, William G., *James Burney, and Frank. My William is found on the census in White County, Arkansas in 1870 and 1880. William's brother, David Carson BRADSHAW, had a granddaughter who married into the VINSON family in Heber Springs and Jacksonville in 1925. I have been in contact with another lister who has a William BRADSHAW even earlier, buying land around 1820 in Arkansas. If we watch the dates we should probably be able to keep them all straight!
